The mission of the ANCT is to support local authorities in the implementation of their projects.
The ANCT facilitates access by local authorities to the resources they need to bring their projects to fruition (technical and financial engineering, partnerships, subsidies). This mission is made possible by the ANCT's intervention through its territorial delegate, the departmental prefect.
The ANCT ensures that the specific characteristics of each territory are taken into account, particularly the most fragile ones, to enable local public action to be deployed where it needs State support. To this end, it produces and disseminates knowledge about local issues and the difficulties encountered in each area. Through its knowledge production activities, it highlights the specific characteristics of each territory and the challenges they face, in order to enhance the effectiveness of the territorial policies implemented there.
The ANCT implements and coordinates ministerial priorities within the framework of national territorial programs.
